The Discovery Sport is Land Rover's most affordable model in India and the only 5+2-seat option in the compact luxury SUV class: a single Dynamic SE trim at ₹63.37 lakh with petrol and diesel identically priced, per Land Rover India's official pan-India list. The third row is occasional-use, child-friendly seating, but no Mercedes GLA, BMW X1 or Audi Q3 offers one at all — that flexibility plus Land Rover's Terrain Response is the whole pitch.
